Just Ordered

Well, a couple of days ago I ordered a M15x, then I made the mistake of taking a look at the M17x the next day. With the crazy discounts going on a couple of days ago and some web coupons i found, I called Dell and canceled my order and placed a new one for a M17. I have read all the back and forth about the SLI 285s and the ATI XF card, but I am an Nvidia , my rig at home has SLI 470s in it now and is balls fast. I figure if/when the next faster card comes out, I will open her up and do a swap. Here is the build, hopefully delivered by Christmas. List was 3700, paid 2600.
